    It’s almost as if the dumb fucks who hate vaccines might be a problem here.

    “ What do we do? We have all these vaccines that can prevent all of these diseases, but shit for brains residents of our state are convinced they are “the work of the devil“!“

    It’s too bad that Democrats, when they are in power, do not remove these people with magical and deadly beliefs with the same zeal that the fascists who are currently on power remove anyone who makes sense and is looking out for the American people

      Tuberculosis vaccines are not given to the general population and they are not part of childhood vaccine regime.

      They are given to vulnerable people when there is an outbreak.

      That said this may be a strain that is drug resistant, which would explain the severity of the outbreak.

        The BCG vaccine is still part of many national vaccination plans in Europe to this day.

        This is not the case in the US, at least I believe that since levels were lower they never started it.

        They are not given to the general population of first world. Nations were tuberculosis has been thought to be eliminated. But they are absolutely given to everyone in every place where tuberculosis is both active and where aid organizations can pay for a complete coverage.

        Thank you for describing to everyone here that you don’t know what you’re talking about
